9 Months

Ok this sounds silly, but 9 months is 3/4 a year old….are my babies really already 9 months and that close to being a year????

You have both had such a fun month!  Lots of eating and playing going on around here!  You still are great eaters and sleepers.  I try to feed you organic and healthy, but we do have a pancake every few weeks when we go out to breakfast:)  You are both great in high chairs at restaurants!  We just recently put up our Christmas Tree and you both love going into that room to play and stare at all the pretty lights.  Ellie you are crawling now so I constantly have to pull you away from the tree so you don't pull it over on yourself…or stick you hand in the water!  You both LOVE animals….in person and on TV!  We still read to you several times a day and are constantly on the go!
Our schedule these days:
7AM wake up.  You both wake up really happy and just rolling around sucking your fingers and babbling until we come to get you up. You drink a 7 oz bottle and then watch TV in your bobby pillows while Mommy and Daddy drink their coffee and get breakfast ready.   We play and I chase you around until you eat breakfast around 8.  You drink around 4 ozs at 8:45.  You take a nap from 9-10:30/11.   We change clothes and usually go run errands during this time.  You drink a 5 oz bottle around 12:15/30 and then eat lunch after.  We play a little while and read books.  You nap again from 1-3:30/4.  You drink a 4 oz bottle when you get up and most days meet our friends at the park.  Since it has been a little colder we might go play at someones house which you both seem to like a lot   Always fun playing with other people's toys!!  At 6PM we feed you real food.  Then we take baths and you drink another 6 oz bottle before bedtime at 7PM.  You are still amazing sleepers!
Graham:
Nicknames- G, Bubba and your favorite BoBo
You weigh 19 lbs!!  You are eating about around20 oz a day and lots of food.  You love just about anything I feed you!  You are in size 2 diapers and size 6 month clothes.  There are few 9 month outfits you can now wear!  You have been having a hard time with separation anxiety which is not fun for anyone.  I have researched how to help you with this and we are trying it all!!  When I am in the room and giving you attention you are the sweetest little boy…but you break down if I even walk towards a door!  You are sitting up better and LOVE walking with us holding on to your hands.  I wouldn't be surprised if you just skip over crawling and start walking.  When we were taking pictures today in your cribs you even pulled yourself up on the rail and were so proud!  You still suck your two middle fingers. Your favorite toy is the Johnny Jump Up and your walker/car….again I think you just like to stand up and go!  We love to hear you laugh or giggle and it is pretty easy to get you going!

 Love this face:)
Ellie:
Nicknames- Bug and Sissy…we have also used your full name a few occasions haha!
You are still the easier twin, very independent and energetic.  You weigh 18 lbs and are drinking 24 oz a day.  You are still interested in bottles unlike your brother.  You eat a lot of food too, but are a very very slow eater.  You are wearing size 2 diapers and size 6 month clothes.  You also are starting to wear a few 9 month outfits.  You are crawling a lot faster and constantly get up on your knees, but can only move forward on your tummy.  You are into everything your not supposed to be…doesn't surprise us one bit though!  We have finally mastered waving…you do it to say Hi, Bye and when you want something.  This is so cute when we are in public and someone waves at you and you get so proud to wave back!  You are starting to ride in the cart at stores and you look like such a big girl, plus you absolutely love it!!!  You are still attached to your pink elephant lovie and have to have it to sleep while sucking your thumb:)
 Love these cheesy smile!
We don't ever play in your cribs so you guys loved playing with my toy from when I was a baby after we took pictures!
